Swiss Family Robinson. edited by G. E. Mitton • containing twelve full-page illustrations in colour by Harry Rountree. Large square crown octavo cloth • gilt top • price 6s.
There's no friend like an old friend, and, among all schoolroom classics, "Swiss Family Robinson" is one of the oldest and best known. The present version is taken from one of the earliest of the English editions, and though a certain amount of unnecessary matter has been cut off to reduce it within reasonable limits, the slightly archaic flavour of the language has been retained.
Harry Rountree's illustrations in colour are really excellent, and make one wish it had been one's own privilege to meet the book for the first time in this guise.
